Fritz wakes up as a prisoner in Delysia, a strange realm ruled by the powerful sorcerer, Malregent, and guarded by an army of Lignumorts. With no hope of escape from his prison walls, he resigns himself to a new life as a slave. When a fellow prisoner is killed for sport in a gladiator ring, Fritz vows revenge and volunteers to fight in the grizzly games. But after discovering that Malregent knows how to unlock the Celestine, Fritz is determined to learn the secret and get back home to save his friends.

Without his magic to aid him, Fritz is in the fight of his life against trained warriors, deadly Lignumorts, and an evil emperor that has the power to destroy his world and everyone in it.
